Introducing the yalit100!

Love YA lit? Love writing fic? Love writing fic for YA lit and wondering why there doesn’t seem to be very much for most books?

Join the YAlit100 challenge!

You MAY claim more than one table at a time.
You MAY do crossovers, fusions, and AU fic! If you intend to write crossovers and/or fusions, claim the table for the MAIN WORK (so, for example, if you want to write 100 godly-parent-fusion fics, your claim would be “Percy Jackson,” unless all 100 fics would star characters from Anna and the French Kiss or something. SOME ASPECT of all 100 fics must be constant for the book/table you choose!)
Fics can be ANY LENGTH. You may write 3-sentence fics, drabbles, one-shots, six-word-ficfests, whatever. The whole point is just to encourage more YA lit fic! :)

So far, there are just the first few tables up, but I will be adding my usual amount of ALL THE YA BOOKS. :P Join and/or Watch the
comm on LJ for updates, and make sure to suggest any book(s) that you may think I’ll miss or that you want to see sooner!

Bumped, and Sloppy Firsts 10th anniversary

violaleeblue — Wed, 17 Aug 2011 14:52:10 GMT

Anyone else participating in #sloppyfirsts10th on Twitter?

Also, looking for someone to GUSH about Bumped with. I loved it! But none of my friends have read it yet.

2nutsforwords — Wed, 11 May 2011 01:52:26 GMT

Oh my goodness, I'm so happy to have stumbled upon the URL for this community after so many years of going Whyyyyy does no one else on the internet appreciate the most brilliant YA series of the two thousands except for meee.

Anyways, the reason I'm posting is that for the longest time I've thought it a damn shame that the Jessica Darling series doesn't have its own TV Tropes page but was intimidated by the size of such an undertaking. Is anyone with me on this?

Vote for Marcus

'Cause I'm too lazy to decode Fourth Comings (again) guys can you answer this for me: was Marcus really planning to break up with Jessica and vice versa? How did their relationship become so tattered?

A few nights ago on E! Entertainment they had a countdown of most "Notorious Women" and Prom Mom (mentioned in Second Helpings when Jess was talking about how Pineville used to be fairly anonymous and only known for being a town over from the Prom Mom) was in the top five.

Have you ever stumbled across anything that reminded you of Sloppy Firsts in some way?

PROMOTION: Nominate Marcus Flutie at bookcrushathon!

What is Bookcrush-A-Thon?

Bookcrush-A-Thon is a fangirly celebration for the best part of every YA book... the totally dreamy fictional guy who could never exist in real life!

There's been a lot of hoopla lately about Team Edward and Team Jacob, Team Peeta and Team Gale, Team Stefan and Team Damon, Team Vampire, Team Werewolf, Team Mortals, Team Immortals, Team Team Team Team Team team team team...

...and I thought, "I wonder whose Team really has the most might."

So now Bookcrush-A-Thon is borne! It's a friendly competition ONLY. NO BASHING IS ALLOWED!

Each round of bookcrushathon will last approximately six months. Twenty-four dreamy bookcrushes. One ultimately dreamy winner per Round! Each week, one more bookcrush will be eliminated until only one is left! It's like Survivor, only not stupid.

Nominate and support Marcus Flutie @ bookcrushathon!

9 years ago

violaleeblue — Sat, 28 Aug 2010 21:38:27 GMT

Sloppy Firsts came out 9 years ago today. How old were you, and how long did it take you to find out about it and read it?
I was 18, and a friend and I randomly found it in the bookstore and read it in about 2002 (when I was 19.)

headphonesbaby — Sat, 17 Apr 2010 12:53:15 GMT

Hey y'all, I made this for the current challenge at picspammy and I thought I'd post it here too :)

oh no Jessica, you're sloppy firsts.

Perfect Fifths Handwriting

natygry — Sat, 26 Dec 2009 14:26:34 GMT

Hey!

Could anyone post or send me Chapter Twenty-Three from Perfect Fifths? The handwritten one. Either picture or text would be great.
I couldn't wait for it to come out here in Brasil, but the PDF I have is illegible. It was hard enough to read the Haikus, but Chapter Twenty-Three is really proving to be impossible even with a lot of Photoshopping.

Thanks already!

Love,
NatyGry!

Wishing You A Merry Xmas

violaleeblue — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 15:47:02 GMT

‘Tis the season
For fireproof evergreens
Covered in pine-scented
Aerosol snow

Hip-hop carols
Performed by prepackaged teen divas
Backed by one-man synthesizer orchestras
Drunken Santa Clauses for
Every gas station
And the latest in nativity scene technology
“Hear the baby Jesus cry!”
Do genuine kisses exist
in world of plastic mistletoe?
Merry xmas ‘00

(or, '09, but that wouldn't rhyme)

and wishing a happy holiday season to anyone who doesn't celebrate Christmas

Quotes ?

mae_kay90 — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 12:14:06 GMT

Hello everyone! im quite new to this comm, and this is my first post. Im trying to make this notebook which is a compilation of some good quotes on the books ive read, and i need some quotes/lines from Sloppy firsts and Second Helpings since I havent listed the pages with the good quotes (i tried scanning and only have located the common ones - mostly w/ marcus haha. but i know there are a lot more nyc lines from jessica and i just dont have the time right now to read it page by page) So i'd be glad if you'd share some of your favorite quotes from the first two books of this series. thanks!

division___st — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 22:06:34 GMT

So my friend and I are going to be Jessica and Hope for Halloween...haha. We are going to a concert so we needed something easy and low-key.
The plan is that one of us will wear a "Me. Yes. Me." shirt and the other wear a white t-shirt with paint smeared all over it.
The books have kind of run together for me, and I'm having trouble finding in which book (and where in that book) it describes Hope's painting shirts. In the meantime while I'm still looking I thought I'd ask here if anyone knew off the top of their head.
And were there any other notable shirts Jessica wore? I can only think of the Me. Yes. Me one and Marcus' COMINGHOME shirt.
Any other ideas are cool too :) Thanks!

Hope?

lgagnon — Wed, 29 Jul 2009 05:38:03 GMT

I just finished reading Second Helpings and in the back it says that Megan wrote Hope's side for twistedmagazine.com and of course I tried to go see if it was still there... six years after the book has been printed. Of course it wasn't there. Anyways, does anyone know if it actually made it to the internet, and if so... where can I find it?

Please and thank you!

Happy 26th!

beieeutiful — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 11:01:58 GMT

I completely forgot that it was Marcus's 26th birthday. HAHA It dawned on me when I saw it on Megan's twitterpage/facebookpage, so to commemorate our favorite fictional male character, lets all greet him

HAPPY 26th BIRTHDAY Marcus Flutie!
(Happy 11th Wedding Anniversary as well to Megan and Chris McCafferty!)

Let us celebrate this by sharing out favorite Marcus Flutie quotes.

Share away!

real life perfect fifths moment

failed_hope — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 04:34:25 GMT

my boyfriend and i have been upset with each other for the past two hours or so for some reason or another. now that we're at the resolving phase, we're both trying to apologize, saying "no, it's my fault" "no, it's not, it's my fault." and in a very jessica-marcus like way that was funny to me because of a line in perfect fifths, my boyfriend just said to me:

"let's just blame it on barney."
those of you who have read the book will get the reference.

the reason why this is even funnier? he's never read the books.
